Happy 21st Birthday Nehemiah

NSBE Leadership, ODU Class of 2016 (Mechanical Engineering)

Well Facebook buddies, you asked for it, you’ve got it! I shared my top 12 Wisdom points to my son Nehemiah on his 21st Birthday (which is today June 18, 2015). I have received more comments and thank you’s on those 12 points and suggestion that I should “share with others.” So I figured, “why not”…plus it helps me to get use to blogging more.. There are millions of “parental units” (that’s what my son calls…us) out there who are “proud, excited and concerned” about their budding 21-year-old.

This is a brave new world..and very different from my 21st year experience. In this quick, fast and in a hurry world, with limited human interaction, irrational actions and folks who “act FIRST and THINK later”; how can I keep my son (or daughter)..safe. So, with that being said,here are some of the “uh oh’s” that came through my brain.

Are they ready..I mean REALLY Read?

Will the world treat them fairly, he’s raised in the suburbs?

Will he make it… with or without Google?

Will WE make it?

So below is what I shared with my son (on a Facebook post this morning ) to celebrate an amazing 21 year journey. I hope it blesses or helps my fellow “parental units” out there.
